An Amusing Story.

The New York Graphic repeats
some OF the stories told by thescholar-
ly, witty and genial Major Haggerty,
the New York ex-assemblyman, before
a meeting of school teachers at
Greenbush. An extract illustrates
the speakers style of talk, which was
not only amusing but profitable and
suggestive:
"When Twas a little boy" remarked
the major, II was very good. My
enemies said was a. little devil. But
that was not so. II was allowed to
visit my uncle on Sunday in Scotland.
Sunday then began on Saturday noon
and was a long day. For whistling a
lively air my uncle said, Jimmie, 20

The Emporor's Grandson.


From 4 Berlin Correspondent.
The Emperor loves no one. He Is
too exclusively q SOVEREIGN to love
anyone but himself. As sovereign he
adores Bismarck, but a. q man he
would not shed tears over his death.
The Crown Prince goes rarely to his
fathers. palace; and the Emperor
visits his sons residence only once
year. A curious feature Of the rela-
tions was the frequency Of the En-
peror's visits to Prince William e
house, DIS the malady of tho Crown
Prince appeared to be on the increase.
Prince William is more after the EN-.
peror' g own heart. Eeis the rigorous.
dashing father of four sons, while the
Crown Prince has only two. He is a
thorough type of the bunker" officer
He ia all soldier. reckless, hot bloodod
and continually in sctapes, from
viii ch the Emperor Is always ready
to help him. He is as near as posi-.
bic to the type OF Bismark when he
was young. Upon the Emperor'e
birthday the Crown Prince came to
his fathers palace on foot, with hie
hands in the pockets of his dress uni
form trousers. Prince William came
last in a state carriage, drawn by six
horses. This so pleased the Emperor
that he stood at the window at the
Princes departure and had him drive
past the palace twice.
